Looks like we have a fascinating qualifying session ahead at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Lando Norris bounced back from a disappointing Friday to post the leading time in final practice ahead of qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix. Norris described Friday running as McLaren’s worst of the season at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Despite this, Norris emerged fastest in FP3 with a lap of 1:11.799s, just edging out Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc by 0.078s. Other top contenders like George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen were also in close contention. Norris’ McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri was one of three drivers to hit the Wall of Champions, suffering an instant puncture. The session was briefly red-flagged for debris on the track after a challenging practice session for multiple drivers, including Haas driver Oliver Bearman.
